Kilos 4 Life week of Sept 11th

[Melly]

Hiya Kilos....
Our thread has a name this week Don't know what I was thinking about last week when I started the new thread but obviously it was not the name......forgive me, I have had my mind on other things and well........what can I say.

OK guys.......we did not quite fill 2 pages last week but yet we had 351 views........there are alot of people lurking......instead of lurking why don't you stop and say hello......you don't have to write a whole paragraph or even fill a page......say hello.......YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!

How is everyone doing weightwise? Do you have any goals set? Even just eating goals. For me lately that is all I have time for. Setting an eating goal and sticking to it is still a goal and a plan. How about you guys? Let's get something going in here. Let's try to keep this week positive and motivating.....we all need it.

Okay everyone... I finally got induction going and am in the pink... I am very happy about this... so I am going to make it a point to post every day so hopefully that will make Melly very happy. I also started a journal in the new journaling board.. I am going to post it here so you all can tell me what you think. I will put most information in both areas anyway... As Melly has also said... come on you lurkers, get to posting!! Here is my first Journal post... what do you think?

Okay... I'm going to try this journal thing... I hear so many wonderful things about it and since I have re-inducted yesterday and going strong today I figure I am on the right track and will stick there...

I have had some bad years... I am realizing that I have had 4 surgeries in just the last 2 years.... that is enough for anybody... The first surgery being female, second was getting my gallbladder out, next came exploratory surgery and the last one was bladder surgery... that one was the hardest I have ever had to go through... including having my boys.. I had huge complications during the last one and almost checked out from what I have been told.... But.. I am on the mend and feeling better every day...

I haven't been working for a long time either... I have 2 boys and since one has been in a gifted school that I have had to drive him to and from, it was decided by me and hubby, I not work. I just couldn't get in enough hours to pay for after school care and make extra money... so I would be paying taxes on money I just make to pay daycare... what sense is that? I am sure some of you know what thats like... This year however, my youngest genius (matthew) changed schools... his hours changed somewhat and I still have to drive him but it is earlier in the day so I will be looking for a part time job that is from 8:00 - 2:00 very soon. I am still recovering from my most recent surgery though but will be looking in the want ads anyway for that perfect opportunity that hopefully will present itself... In the meantime, I am going to dable in selling on ebay. I know a few that do this as their job and you can make a ton of money at it... also, I have a ton of stuff to get rid of... so what the heck.

Okay... back to my diet and goals.. As I said I re-inducted yesterday... well actually the evening before yesterday but not counting that.. Today, since I still had some ketosis sticks in the hall closet, I checked and am already in moderate... that is enough for anyone to get motivated isn't it? I have many reasons that I will not go into why I want to do this... some good... some not but I figure I am going to get it done and show everyone what I am made of so watch as I prove myself.

Today I woke to that oh so familiar induction headache... my goodness does that really ruin your day... but... being tomorrow is the third day, I am sure it will be alot better... Down 1 and 1/2 pounds since yesterday and looking forward to tomorrows weighin... I tend to be a slave to the scale but since I have been weighing myself at night, I am going to do it in the morning and then wait a week (if I can stand it) and see how I did... I will be sure to post how much I lose... I am one that is shy about weight... never tell anyone... I have told a few what size I started at and what I am now though... and even though it IS impressive by my standards, as I lose, maybe I will be comfortable to at least share THAT information at a later date. I will also start posting my menus as well as what exercise I am doing, I am sure it will help me be accountable to myself anyway.. Since I am not cleared to go back to the gym (They told me no way when I asked if I could) I will post when I get clearance from the good ole doc. I see him in like 3 weeks or so... maybe I will get lucky and he will give me the all clear.. I was told I can't even use my eliptical, which was a major disappointment but they said as long as I don't power walk and pound the pavement that I could take leisurely strolls, so that is what I will do.

so I guess all I can say now is... here I go..

WOW.......great to see everyone in here posting. The key to success is consistancy.....even if that is just posting. There are times that I don't feel like coming in here due to a bad day, not feeling well, having too much on my plate and/or just dealing with life on life's terms.....but here is the bottom line......when I come in here and I post.....I feel better!!!!

We all have things going on in our lives....some people share those things and some do not. I personally plan to keep the negative things or the "unpleasant things" in my life to myself and focus on the positive things in here....positive thinking brings positive results.

Gettenthere you are ALWAYS a source of inspiration to me......you are always so upbeat and fun......I hope you never change.

Roro.....I almost puked just reading that menu girl........what were you thinking Anywayyyyyyyyyyy today is a new day.

Tony........what would we do without you and your sense og humor and your inspiration.....strange as it may be at times.....it is still inspiring

Cheri I hope you keep up with your journal and posting in here. I realize that you have had your share of "stuff" but it's time to get up and get moving and Do The Dayum Thing.......and we all know that you can.

As for me.....eating is good....amd football was GREAT yesterday

GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[that1redhead]

New week guys. Time to get moving. Roro - love your new picture. Very beautiful.

Cheri, Mandy, Gettinthere, Melly, Crado - Nice to see and hear from all of you.

We worked so hard this weekend. Cleaned up the boys room and took apart their bunk beds so now they don't have to climb up to bed anymore. It is nice. We hauled so much junk out of there. 1/2 of it was garbage (broken toys, etc.). We have a whole basement full of toys and junk that some day we need to go through and clean out. They don't even know what they have, spoiled little *#^@(*'s.

DH helped me so it was kind of fun. Hoping he will continue into the basement. I need to have a garage sale of all the toys and clothes they have outgrown and all the clothes I have undergrown. I must have 9 boxes full.

Have a great week kilos.

Hi every one,
14 days to day of induction and I’m on the threshold of OWL or am I? I sure was looking forward to gustatory pleasures of an increase in carbs but here is my dilemma I’ve answered the questions on page 160 and no I am not bored with induction and I’ll know tomorrow when I weigh I in the morning weather I’m metabolically resistant to weight loss .Here is another question if you have a lot of weight to lose you can do induction safely for six months or longer. Do have a lot more to go like 60lbs and on page 169 it reads OWL deliberately slows the rate of weigh and inches lost to lay the work for permanent weight loss.
Apparently, I can no longer cruise to goal its time to be specific and set a goal. I figure another 60lbs so Dano, Mandy, Melly , HN, Sinny and every one what do I do. One more question the vegetables are the carbs counts for cooked or raw.
Today last day of 2 weeks induction, that’s if I stop
Food induction clean
Water 5 L by the way I did make the 5L yesterday too
Have a great day all Cheri take it easy and I know you will make it with all the health problems behind you. I’m going to try the journal thanks it came up just in time to keep me accountable.

I know you're worried about increasing your carb level, worried that you won't keep losing and that you'll mess up your progress. But you won't! 20 grams is a starting point, it's not necessarily where your body will lose the best, and it's a bad mentality to get into, the 'diet' mentality. Less is not necessarily more! Add in some extra veggies, maybe some sunflower seeds or some macadamia nuts. It's all there in the book! You'll be getten there and be able to stay there when you arrive!

Hi Kilos! Just watching some football and having some chicken wings with some of doglady's Anchor Bar wing sauce... yummy! I can't tell you how good it feels to have football season back, a plate full of wings, and a few minutes to enjoy both

Goooooooo Kilo!

Dano

[Melly]

Dano I am with ya on the whole football thing......I have sooooooooo missed football........and how bout the fight before the game tonight? WTH was that all about......they didn't even have "Jacked Up" on ESPN before the game tonight because of it

Getten I have to agree with Dano....you have done so well girl....don't focus so much on counting.....just eat healthy like you know you should and be proud of yourself....you have come a long way and you should not be sweating minor details at this point......you should be proud of yourself....I know that I sure am

Hello everyone...

I did great on my eating today... what do you think?

Breakfast: cola chicken (1 chicken breast)
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad (with cheese, bacon and ranch dressing)
Dinner: 1 brat, broccoli
snack 1/3 of a lowcarb chicken wrap (I know I am on induction and its best to stay away from products but I do not have a problem with tortillas as long as I eat them sparingly.. and 1/3 of one for me isn't going to make a difference on weather I lose or not)

I didn't do wonderful on my water but that isn't anything new... for those who know me, you know I struggle with that a ton... I did drink 2 bottles though and the night isn't over yet... I will up it every day until I get to a more acceptable level. OH.. and I am proud to say I didn't have 1 soda, which is one of my weaknesses!

I did weigh this morning and lost another 1/2 pound so that is 2 in 2 days... I won't weigh again till next Monday.. at least I hope I can stay off the scale!!

I did have a scare today... I went to the bathroom and I started bleeding again (because of my surgery) I got kind of freaked out so I called the doctors office. The nurse asked me if I overdid things today and I did do more then usual, so it is either that or it could be that one of my stitches came out and started bleeding.. They said since it seems to be slowing back down that I shouldn't worry about it... but to take it easy until I see him in about 3 weeks.

Melly, thanks sweetie... I have had my share of stuff... lots of stressfulness but there comes a time when you just say that you need to do what you need to do and that is what I am going to do... know what I mean? Thanks for your support girlie.

Dano, glad you had fun on your trip this weekend, now get thy self on induction boy!

Gettenthere... you are such a sweetiepie and I hope you know I loves ya as I do everyone here... I look forward to reading your Journal entries. Feel free to post in my Journal if you like.. its always good to hear from others and it really helps keep you motivated!! and back!

Red... wow you did a lot of work this weekend!!! I bet that was tiring.. I cleaned today... got a lot done but its a never ending job with all the boys in this house!

Tony... As always it is great to see ya... you have set some great goals for yourself and I am sure if you do the time you will reap the rewards!

Roro? Did you start back on induction yet? I am sure you can jump back on.. especially when you have been doing so well!

Okay... think I got everyone that has posted so far... come on everyone else... get to posting.. it would be great to hear from ya!!

Okay... I know this is a long post but you are my friends and I want you to know what happened today.... It was awful!!

I picked up the boys from school and was driving home.. I had to stop at a red light... There was a truck next to me. The light turns green and the truck starts to go.. I take my foot off the brake an BAM!!!! This girl rear ends me from behind HARD! I grab my cell phone and get out of the car and dial 911... I talk to the police telling them I need them to come to the accident... they ask if I need an ambulance and I tell them well, I have my kids in the car so yes, I want them checked out.

Here is the part you are NOT going to believe!!!!!

This girl is 17 years old... she was on the cell phone when she hit me... I know cuz when she got out of the car she had it and called her mother to come... she was talking to her and her boyfriend arrives before her mother did so I figure she was on the phone with him when she hit me... So her mom gets there and asks me if we are okay and I said I think so but that the police were on the way and an ambulance to check out my boys. Then the girl utters her first words to me which was...

"My uncle says that ... he has a body shop... and you can bring it there to be checked out... So again, I say.. well, the police are on the way and so is an ambulance because I have kids in the car and want to have them checked out. All of a sudden the girl starts lunging at me throwing her fist in my face (luckily not making contact and I had to put my arm up to block her punch) and her mom and boyfriend grab her and it takes both of them to pull her away... I told her if she hits me I am pressing charges!! She was yelling obsenities at me.. calling me names that I can't say here and said that nothing was wrong with my car (even though my bumper is cracked and her front end is folded in so much her licence plate is folded in half) This guy pulled up and jumped out and ran over and asked if I was okay and said he saw the whole thing. He stayed for a few minutes... They send a fire truck and ambulance... and checked my boys out and they asked me if I was okay cuz I keep rubbing the back of my neck. I said I think I am but my neck is killing me and I have a bad headache... They asked if I wanted to go to the hospital but I said no... I will probably just go to my doctor tomorrow if I need too... so they are watching this girl screaming like all get out... she just wouldn't shut up.. She was yelling she didn't want to get a ticket and her mom was saying well there goes my insurance again!! The guy that stopped went to his car and got a piece of paper and gave me his name and number saying he was a witness to what she was doing and to give it to the cops if needed. The cops finally show up and he talks to the ambulance people and also the fire truck guys... they then leave and the cop comes and takes my statement of what happened. He went over to the girl and she tried to say that she was stopped behind me and the light turned green and the truck started to go but I didn't. The cop didn't believe that story cuz there was just so much damage to her car for to just hitting me from a dead stop... so he goes to the car to write up a report and then write her a ticket.... he brings me my copy of the report and tells me how to fill my part out.. saying she was going to get a ticket for hitting me. I said okay... and do I need to say anything about when she tried to hit me? He said what happened and I told him and he said he wanted my witness' name and number because he was going to call him for a statement and if it is as he described then he was going to arrest her for attempted assult... I said why, she never connected with me and he said it doesn't matter if she threw her fist at you then that is enough... especially if I had to block her... He told me he was done with me though so I could go home.... I got in my car and looking in my rear view mirror I see the girl say something and get off her car and start walking away.. then running... the cop rolled his window down and told her to stop and told her mom and aunt to go catch her.... He called another police car so they came to chase her down if they couldn't catch her.... okay so I left...

I kind of feel sorry for the girl... I think she needs some major help... maybe anger management classes or something.. I feel bad if she got arrested but maybe it will teach her some kind of lesson and keep her from getting into even more trouble with her rage later on?

OMG... I just got a call from the police officer that was there... he told me that he arrested her for attempted assult and almost arrested her mom and aunt for obstruction of justice... they were getting in the way and yelling they were going to sue him for arresting her. I guess the girl got very nasty with the police officer too, screaming and fighting with him? This is just unreal. He told me that there was a bond on her and her mom and aunt were already bonding her out... OH... and the officer told me that she tried to tell him that I started the fight! He said if he believed her she wouldn't be in jail right now and that the witness he talked to told the exact same story that I did.

And they have my address on the report of the wreck so I said to the police man I hope we don't have a problem with them vandalizing my house... he said don't worry that he patrols my neighborhood every day and will keep an eye on my house... but still... another thing to worry about!

All this drama for a little fender bender... I bet its going to be in the paper tomorrow in police beat... I will have to look.

Cheri you might wanna check with someone else on the address showing on her copy of the report......I have NEVER heard of them revealing a victims information on a report for them to have access to it Just might wanna check....her copy may not be the same as yours

[cheri]

When the policed called me I asked him if she had it... cuz on my report hers is on mine... he said they have to put it on there... I am not sure why but think that isn't right.. They also have my phone number... I am worrying about that...

cheri

[gettenthere]

awwwwwwwwCheri thats all you needed after such a nice day don't worry about your phone number can you not have it changed usually in an accident here the parties involved do exchange phone numbers and vehicle information. I just can't get over that girl may be she was on some thing. These poor kids now days. Take care Cheri
